Humors of a Balloonist,s Life.

The descent of balloon in a remote back
woods settlement is almost invariably pro-
ductive Of amusing incidents. Landing once
in mountainous district in the state of
Georgia writes King, the aeronaut, my COM
panion and myself were astonished at hear
ing loud sbrieks and EXPLANATIONS issuing
from house near by, while in the doorway
we saw an old lady upon her knees, praying
with great vociferation. The whole neigh
borhood had been aroused, and an earthquake
could not have created greater connection.
IN the woods, not far from our landing place,
we found bag of meal lying in the path. 1t
had been dropped by some panic stricken ma
tive. Further on, a fishing party had aban-
doned several strings of fish. Our comedy
came measuGably near ending in tragedy, for
we had narrow escape from the shotguns of
gang of Illicit distillers, who took us to be
revenue officers. On the occasion of recent
descent in southern Virginia, devout col
ored woman, catching sight of the balloon,
gazed upon it in rapt admiration, excaiming:
''Dar comes my blessed Jesus, walking on de
clouds! | take my chillen out on de public
roadI Suffln gwine to happen! Halleluiah!"
and she went on shouting till the truth was
explained to her. Another Afro-American,
hearing me call to him, started off at full
speed, crying as he ran: "Gabriels done
called me, l hear him hoerl" Very amusing

descents. He had assembled from Charleston

for the conventicles a while, and then gave it
up, remarking that the passage only occurred
in the revised version.
The commencement editor, who used to
read proof on The Chicago Times, said he had
read the revised Bible clear through, and was
positive the quotation wasn't from the Bible
at all.
The young man who does the book notices
said it was from Pope. "That's what made
me think it was in the Bible" said the snake
editor; "but which pope was it? Theref

There has been few changes in prices during the
past seven days Cotton again advanced to bet

The BLIGHT of LandIordism.

"Reginal" wants to know what is the "blight
of landlordism," of which he reads so much.
Well, we asked our landlord about it and he
said it was paying plumber, carpen-
ter, a painter and a plasterer $500 a
year to keep a 5000 house in repair and then
have the tenant take out the door bell, chan
deliers and range and skip with about three
months rent unpaid. He says there are some
other blights in the landlord business, which
any one may readily find out by building
few houses to rent.-Burdette.
